Recently I read an article that posed the question, “What does your handbag say about you?” It suggested that a handbag is an absolute indicator of who a woman is and what her style is. It went on to identify the following style categories:
The Eternal Prepster: She wears plaid and pearls, and of course, is practical
The Upwardly Mobile Do-Gooder: She is world and environmentally conscious, yet brand aware
The Lady Who Luxes: She’s a label “freak”, works but doesn’t need to, and wears the “it” heels
The Multitasker: She’s safe in her style of dress, but in a cute way;her bag allows for hands free
The Brooklyner: She has no worries about matching accessories; she’s both a participant in and an observer of style
The Power Mom: She likes labels but doesn’t need to show them; her bag must accommodate both her work and her life
The Pantsuit Executive: She wants to be taken seriously; her bag must accommodate a laptop
The Party Girl: She works hard, plays hard, but is young enough to still go out after work
The Early Adopter: She’s on the cutting edge; her bag isn’t functional, but she works it
The Hoarder: She can’t edit what’s in her bag and can’t find what she needs in it; she’s not a “haute mess”…just haute and messy
What do you think? Do any of these categories “resemble” you?
